Critical reception
Template:Album ratings Reception of Swamplord was fairly positive. Andy Hinds of AllMusic praised the album and in particular, the keyboards on the album, stating they "heighten the drama, while adding texture to the quintet's crushing twin-guitar foundation."[2] He also compared the vocals to that of At the Gates and Emperor. Mark Gromen for Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles called the tracks on the album "Rapidly played hymns of blasphemy, with a high level of musicianship."[3] Kevin Stewart-Panko of Exclaim! stated that "The classical influenced runs and keyboard swells are a nice touch as are the band's experiments with dissonance vs. consonance in 'Heritance of Berija.'" He also said that while the band isn't entirely original, "they do have their moments and provide a decent enough listen."[4]
